I will go to an ophthalmologist at RAM Hospital for a new prescription and then order glasses from Zenni in the US. An ophthalmologist is going to be more thoroughly trained is my thinking. If you go to most optometrists in CM, they won’t even sell you the prescription. Prices were nutso on glasses.
